    Angel is a three star Michelin chef so what would you expect from this restaurant? It's the little brother to his bigger restaurant around the corner but there is no little brother about the food or the service. In one word FANTASTIC...

    The fish and chips plate looked and tasted as a cheap kebab. A pity because starters were very good. Nice place but unfortunately the food was very disappointing. I do not understand how this place made it into Michelin’s list of restaurants. To avoid.

    (Translated by Google) Below the expectations we had. When it was time to change the shift, they took us off the table in an unprofessional and unnecessarily rude way (Original) Por debajo de las expectativas que teníamos. Al llegar la hora de cambio de turno nos sacaron de la mesa de una manera nada profesional e innecesariamente ruda

  • 5/5 Eva C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Plate of whiting chistorra with shrimp and fried eggs and sea bass tartare are the two dishes we tried. Delicious. All very rich and very well presented. What I don't understand is that they put you a glass of beer and fill it halfway. That seemed tacky to me. Two more fingers of beer don't ruin them. Still, the experience was very good. (Original) Plato de chistorra de pescadilla con camarones y huevos fritos y el tartar de corvina son los dos platos que probamos. Deliciosos. Todo muy rico y muy bien presentado. Lo que no entiendo es que te pongan un vaso de cerveza y te lo llenen por la mitad. Eso me pareció cutre. Dos dedos más de cerveza no los arruinan. Aún así, muy buena la experiencia.

Next customers were waiting for our table at the bar ... I was a couple of years ago and I liked it much more. .. (Original) Normal...simplemente porque me esperaba algo mejor. La comida está buena...pero no está deliciosa...Y el servicio regu...supongo que por el covid con prisas ...sin detalle... no nos dio tiempo ni a pedir el postre cdo nos dijeron que los siguientes clientes estaban esperando nuestar mesa en la barra...estuve hace un par de años y me gustó mucho más. ..

    (Translated by Google) Spectacular, the food, the service, the place. We were at the port and decided to get closer. We did not have a reservation, therefore we could not sit down, but we were very comfortable at the bar. The squares were covered. (Original) Espectacular, la comida, el servicio, el local. Estabamos en el puerto y decidimos acercarnos. No teníamos reservar, por lo tanto no pudimos sentarnos, pero estuvimos en la barra muy agusto. Se cubrieron las plazas.

  • 2/5 Enrique M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We went to the chef del mar tavern after having enjoyed aponiente very much and it was a disappointment. What we liked the most were the croquettes and cannelloni. Of the seconds, only the Tuna Tail kept the level. The rest in my opinion quite scarce and poorly executed, especially the rather dry and insipid belly. The plantain rice was good but the portion is very small for the price, I would not consider it a main dish. The service a bit cold. (Original) Fuimos a la taberna del chef del mar tras haber disfrutado mucho en aponiente y fue una decepción. Lo que mas nos gustó fueron la croquetas y los canelones. De los segundos solamente el Rabo de Atun mantuvo el nivel. El resto en mi opinion bastante escasos y mal ejecutados, en especial la ventresca bastante seca e insípida. El arroz de placton estaba bueno pero la ración es muy pequeña para el precio que tiene, no lo consideraría un plato principal. El servicio un tanto frio.

  • 4/5 Fernando A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good treatment, good atmosphere, well presented dishes but I was expecting to find more intense flavors. The rice with Plankton very rich and green but it was not what I expected. Sausages Del Mar very ingenious and well presented, but to my taste they lacked more "taste of the sea". The Choco Cocretas, the gnocchi and the very rich dessert. We will have to return to try more dishes. (Original) Buen trato, buen ambiente, platos bien presentados pero esperaba encontrar sabores más intensos. El arroz con Plancton muy rico y verde pero no era lo que me esperaba. Embutidos Del Mar muy ingeniosos y bien presentados, pero a mi gusto les faltaba más “sabor a mar”. Las Cocretas de choco, los ñoquis y el postre muy ricos. Tendremos que volver para probar más platos.

    (Translated by Google) A cozy space in which you are in an authentic tavern with elaborate food. The attention of the exquisite staff, attentive to the needs and when appropriate indicating the way to select the elements of the dish for a perfect tasting. We liked the dishes we chose a lot, especially the almadraba cannelloni and the choco croquettes. (Original) Un espacio acogedor en el que estás en una taberna auténtica con comida elaborada. La atención del personal exquisita, atentos a las necesidades y cuando correpondia indicando la forma de seleccionar los elementos del plato para que una perfecta degustación . Los platos que elegimos nos gustaron mucho especialmente los canelones de almadraba y las croquetas de choco.

  • 5/5 Sandeep J. 1 year ago on Google
    Solo date night dinner and La Taberna was spot on. I already knew what I wanted and the staff were patient with my lack of English and helped me navigate other dishes. I had the plankton risotto which was packed with flavour and not to be missed.

  • 5/5 Aura Marina R. 2 years ago on Google
    We new it was going to be good food. But we never imagined it would be that special! Flavours I never experienced before. The brioche and the flakes of dorada were my favourite amongst the things we tried! What an experience! Not to be missed!!

    As expectations were really high, maybe I didn’t enjoyed it as much. Is a good restaurant and the food was pretty good, but I just expected more (chef and price wise)

  • 4/5 Pedro C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We went to dinner and we really liked the place and the decoration, in addition to the attention of the waiters (especially Álvaro) which was correct, although they take out the dishes too quickly and together, very rich dishes as we expected but some somewhat expensive for the quantity (the plate of rice with plankton 27 euros, a skewer 22 euros ...) Very good experience but somewhat expensive, good cuisine should not be at odds with the amount on the plates (Original) Fuimos a cenar y nos gustó mucho el sitio y la decoración,ademas de la atención de los camareros(en especial Álvaro) que fue correcta,aunque sacan los platos demasiado rápido y juntos.Platos muy ricos como esperábamos pero algunos algo caros para la cantidad(el plato de arroz con plancton 27 euros,una brocheta 22 euros...)

  • 5/5 H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We left the port of Cádiz on the catamaran at a ridiculous price. We disembark and go to the Tavern and the truth is that as soon as we enter they embrace you with their attention and their good work. We ate some dishes that triggered a few tzunamis on the taste buds. Highly recommended. (Original) Salimos del puerto de Cádiz en el catamaran a un precio irrisorio. Desembarcamos y nos dirigimos a la Taberna y la verdad es que nada más entrar te abrazan con su atención y su bien hacer. Comimos unos platos que provocaron unos tzunamis en las papilas gustativas. Muy recomendable.

  • 3/5 Sara Espejo A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Do you wonder why I have given 3 stars to a local chef del mar that has 3 michelin stars? Well, I agree that when you go to such a special place where you are going to spend a large sum of money, everything must be special. The idea of ​​keeping the tavern where he started and got the first two stars is super romantic and beautiful, but from my point of view it didn't convey that to me personally, and maybe that's why I was disappointed. I was left with the feeling of being in a fast food place where they already make everything like churros ... We had a reserved table ... well actually, they are long or low or high bars with stools where you share rooms with other people, now with the covid they put removable plastic partitions or you can also eat at the bar of the entire bar. lifetime. The waitresses generalize treating all the customers the same, the personalized or close treatment is conspicuous by its absence and it shows that they are in a hurry to take your order, serve you, eat and leave ... or so I perceived. In fact, it also gave me that impression because we arrived and the place was freezing, they had very high air conditioning, I suppose that so that you don't get too comfortable ... but one thing is that they want your stay to be agile and another to make you feel uncomfortable. I took a coat and a handkerchief that night that I didn't take off at any time, but I did not take them away. I would have left, it was better on the street. The worst thing was that I asked the waitress if I could make it softer or remove it, she told me that it was similar to it but she did the paripe because the air remained the same and she did not give me any explanation. As for the food, we asked for a recommendation, it was all delicious, except for the tuna cannelloni from almadraba that were dry and cold. The dishes are a small tasting, to satisfy yourself you must order at least 4 for two at a dinner. As for the drink, we have beer, warn you that they put the same large glass for you whether you ask for cane or double cane, only that the cane is served in half which is a bit lackluster from my point of view. Dinner is not cheap, the place and the attention is not special, but if you want to try something different, the food in general is tasty, although not the wonder I expected. (Original) ¿Os preguntaréis porqué le he puesto 3 estrellas a un local del chef del mar que tiene 3 estrellas michelin? Pues bien, yo condiero que cuando vas a un local tan especial donde vas a gastar una importante suma de dinero todo debe ser especial. La ensencia de conservar la taberna donde empezó y consiguió las dos primeras estrellas es super romántica y bonita, pero desde mi punto de vista a mi personalmente no me trasmitió eso, y quizás por eso me decepcionó. Me quedé con la sensación de estar en un lugar de comida rápida donde ya lo hacen todo como churros... Teníamos mesa reservada...bueno en realidad, son barras largas o bajas o altas con taburetes donde compartes estancias con otras personas, ahora con el covid ponen mamparas de plastico de quita y pon o también puedes comer en la barra del bar de toda la vida. Las camareras generalizan tratando a todos los clientes iguales, el trato personalizado o cercano brilla por su ausencia y se nota que tienen prisa en tomarte nota,servirte,que comas y te vayas...o eso percibí yo. De echo, me dio también esa impresión porque llegamos y el local estaba helado tenían el aire acondicionado altísimo supongo que para que no te acomodes mucho...pero una cosa es que quieran que tu estancia sea ágil y otra que te hagas sentir incómoda. Yo cogí abrigo y pañuelo esa noche que no me quité en ningún momento, sino los llevo a llevar me hubiera ido se estaba mejor en la calle. Lo peor fue que le pedí a la camarera si podía ponerlo más suave o quitarlo,me dijo que si fue a la parez a ello pero hizo el paripé porque el aire siguió igual y no me dio ninguna exlicación. En cuanto a la comida pedimos recomendación estaba todo rico,exceptuando los canelones de atún de almadraba que estaban secos y fríos. Los platos son una pequeña degustación, para saciarte debes pedir al menos 4 para dos en una cena. En cuanto a la bebida tomamos cerveza, advertiros que te ponen el mismo vaso grande tanto si pides caña como caña doble,sólo que en la caña te la sirven por la mitad que queda un poco deslucido desde mi punto de vista. Cenar no sale barato, el sitio y la atención no es especial, pero si queréis probar algo diferente la comida en general está rica aunque no la maravilla que esperaba.

    (Translated by Google) To go without breakfast, apotheosis, but with an open mind and try everything because everything is a delicacy, fish and seaweed and the sea in general. Highly recommended (Original) Para ir sin desayunar, apoteosis, pero con la mente abierta y probarlo todo pues todo es un manjar, de pescado y algas y del mar en general. Altamente recomendable

    (Translated by Google) The site is super cool, the waiters all hyper friendly, they explain what each thing is and advise you. The food ... Spectacular, personally, the croquettes and cannelloni.

    (Translated by Google) I had a reservation at 1:30 pm. I arrived at the restaurant at 1:24 p.m. and what you expect is that it is open, and while you wait, you have something to drink, or not and you simply wait, well, no, all the blinds and doors were closed tightly. Well, here comes the unpleasantness of the matter, when I saw one of the blinds ajar, I approached to ask since it had to be 3 or 2 minutes before 13:30, the maitre d or waiter or who the hell it was told me, with a tone very unpleasant "close the door" to which I replied that I had a reservation at 1:30 pm, and he said, "we open in 3 minutes, close the door". I closed the door and automatically canceled my reservation which I had 2 minutes later. Without a doubt the worst place where I have been treated. I'm going to spend 3 more days between Jerez and Cádiz, but I'm not going back. I think that in no restaurant / bar / hotel you should feel like you are bothering. (Original) Tenía una reserva a las 13:30. Llegué al restaurante a las 13:24 y lo que te esperas es que esté abierto, y mientras esperas pues te tomas algo, o no y simplemente esperas, pues no, estaban todas las persianas y puertas cerradas a cal y canto. Bien, pues ahí llega lo desagradable del asunto, cuando vi una de las persianas entreabierta, me acerqué para preguntar ya que debían faltar 3 o 2 minutos para las 13:30, el maitre o camarero o quién demonios fuese me dijo, con un tono muy desagradable "cierra la puerta" a lo que le repliqué que tenía una reserva a las 13:30, y me dijo, "abrimos en 3 minutos, cierra la puerta". Cerré la puerta y automáticamente cancelé mi reserva que tenía 2 minutos después. Sin duda el peor sitio donde me han tratado. Voy a pasar 3 días más entre Jerez y Cádiz, pero no pienso volver. Creo que en ningún restaurante/bar/hotel debes sentir que estás molestando.
